Flexible textile structure, floor component comprising a flexible textile structure, method for producing a floor component, ground line protection system and method for producing a ground line protection system, and use of

Patent no: DE102020005082
Publication date: 2021-10-14
Applicant(s): G QUADRAT GEOKUNSTSTOFFGESELLSCHAFT MBH
Inventor: SCHRÖDER JAN

The invention relates to a flexible textile structure (1) for producing a floor component (12). Such a floor component (12) has a filling material (13) which sets and/or hardens under the influence of moisture. Such floor components (12) are used in particular for protecting ground lines. According to the invention, the flexible textile structure (1) has a coating (7, 11). The coating (7, 11) is preferably self-dissolving and/or has openings (8). In both cases, it is possible for the floor component (12) to become rigid or semi-rigid as a result of penetrating moisture after installation.

A method of detecting the presence or absence of a sealant applied to a textile graft includes the steps of: providing a textile graft having a first surface and an opposed second surface; providing a water soluble masking agent; applying the water soluble masking agent to at least a portion of the first surface of the textile graft; providing a sealant solution; providing a visual indicator; applying the water insoluble sealing agent and the visual indicator to the second surface of the textile graft; and removing the water soluble masking agent after the step of applying sealing solution. The second surface has visual indication of the visual indicator and the first surface is substantially free of visual indication of the visual indicator. An implantable textile graft includes the selectively applied visual indicator.
